Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo has added fresh fuel to the growing talk linking Julian Alvarez with a move to Camp Nou after admitting he is a big fan of the Atletico Madrid forward.
Asked about Alvarez, Araujo did not hide his admiration for the Argentina international, describing him as a “great” striker.
The Uruguay centre-back’s comments come at a time when Alvarez continues to be mentioned in Barcelona transfer conversations, with the 24-year-old already making an impact since joining Atletico Madrid.
Araujo’s praise is the latest public nod towards Alvarez’s quality from within the Barcelona dressing room, even as the forward remains an Atletico player.
Barca, meanwhile, are monitoring their options in attack, and Araujo’s words have only increased attention around Alvarez and the possibility of him being a future target.
